CHINA. Anhwei. 3 Mace 6 Candareens (50 Cents), Year 24 (1898)-ASTC. Anking Mint. Kuang-hsu (Guangxu). PCGS VF-35.
L&M-200; K-58; KM-Y-44.1; WS-1077. A VERY RARE and elusive provincial minor, this piece demonstrates a wholesome originality that leaves it as an incredibly appealing specimen, despite its time in commerce. Wear is present on the highest elements of the design, with some rub seen on the finer features of the dragon and the central characters. Despite this, the surfaces are charmingly colored with gunmetal gray allure, and touches of plum toning that ripple throughout. Glossiness remains, with much appeal arising from the piece, ensuring this Anhwei issue will suffer no shortage of bidders seeking a premium example of the type.
Estimate: $5000 - $10000
